JACKSON, Miss. (AP) The Mississippi Supreme Court will not reconsider the case of a former jail nurse convicted in the 2014 death of a George County inmate.
Justices denied Carmon Brannan’s request for the Supreme Court to take up her case in an order filed June 18.
In July 2018, a Warren County jury convicted Brannan of manslaughter in the Sept. 14, 2014, death of William Joel Dixon. The Mississippi Court of Appeals affirmed the manslaughter conviction in October 2020.
Dixon, a 29-year-old insulin-dependent diabetic, was an inmate at the George County jail where Brannan was employed as a nurse.
“During his incarceration, Dixon complained that he was unable to breathe, felt weak, and could not keep any foods or liquids down,” the Appeals Court wrote in 2020. “In addition, guards found Dixon on the floor of his cell and unable to walk on multiple occasions.”

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Supporters of Initiative 65 rallied outside the Mississippi Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Organizers with the “Standup for MS Voters” rally said they are concerned about the Mississippi Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the medical marijuana initiative.
Jonathan Brown said, “We were dealt a big blow when the supreme court held down their decision. We were a little bummed, but now we’re fired up.”
The justices heard arguments in April 2021 for a lawsuit that challenged the state initiative process and seeks to block development of a medical marijuana program. The lawsuit was filed by Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler. It argued the state’s initiative process is outdated and Initiative 65 should not have been on the ballot.
